vcr to dvd

[dosset]

exactly how do i transfer vcr recordings to dvd using a computer ? what program,what cable connections etc etc??

[Ethel]

Far less hassle to buy a cheap dvd recorder for your tv and record to that.

If you buy one with a hard drive, you can edit the recording - cut out commercials and so on.

Yep, what Ethel said

i have a dvd recorder linked to tv but because of other units connected to it and the problem of having no further room to site the vcr and some recordings are copy protected,i would like to record via the computer as you can dvd to dvd.
i realise that it may be a hassle but it can be done i just need to know how

But this is an excellent 'how to' article if you determined to do it via your pc:

If your videos are copy protected, it is simply a matter of putting tape over the hole.


Apparently.

Old tech Ethel - these youngsters don't realise how sophisticated (not!) things were a few years ago.
